BRATTLEBORO

class late Friday afternoon as part of a national student protest of
the war in Iraq.
The students held a short rally on the steps in front of the high
school before going home.

Camilo Mejia - audio:
In May 2004, Iraq combat veteran Camilo Mejia
was sentenced to a year in prison for refusing to return to the war
in Iraq. "By putting my weapon down, I chose to reassert myself as a
human being," he said.
He is the first Iraq war veteran to file for discharge from the
army as a conscientious objector. He was released in February 2005,
and has been speaking out with help of organizations like Global
Exchange, Iraq Veterans Against the War (IVAW), and Military
Families Speak Out (MFSO).
